Chapter 119 - - 119 Holy Mother Duge_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“Cen Ruibing, a student of Class 3, Grade 1, at Elite Seven, has an identity in the simulation called Shi Xiang, serving as the regiment staff officer stationed in West Forest City. My skill is unity, with the advanced skill being Heart of Solidarity, which allows me to concentrate the strength of everyone in the team onto myself.”

After hesitating for a moment, Staff Officer Shi clearly reported all her information, both inside and outside the simulation.

When she had finished, she smiled wryly, her demeanor revealing that of a demure young woman, “Mr. Du, is this sincerity enough for you? If you can allocate more spiritual power to me, when we’re out of the simulation, I can offer you even more benefits. We can talk about it then, and I will certainly give you a satisfying price. This is a promise made before everyone—if not fulfilled, it would result in the Qiao Family being subject to public condemnation. Isn’t this sincerity enough!”

Hearing her name and seeing the incongruent smile on her face, Duge was taken aback, “You’re a girl?”

“Mhm, my male character has a seventy percent pass rate,” Shi Xiang returned to his masculine image and said, “In an apocalyptic setting, no one would choose a woman’s body to possess, as it has too many limitations.”

Damn!

Duge couldn’t help but recall the last simulation where Wang San had flawlessly played the role of a pervert, his eyes twitching uncontrollably. This damned Alien Battlefield, what has it driven the people of Qiyuan Star to become? Men don’t seem like men, women don’t seem like women.

…

What haven’t women who have been through several simulations seen or experienced?

After possessing men’s bodies, seeking thrills, they’re likely to even discuss bodily structure with other women!

After all.

The simulation only broadcasts the top ten, and most people never get the chance to be on the big screen. In pursuit of enjoyment, they can do whatever they want within the simulation…

After all, life’s last pleasures are not a joking matter.

Only those who aim for the top ten or have the ability to vie for it will maintain their integrity in the simulation and not expose their ugly side, right?

The women of this world might even have more experience acting as men than men themselves, and they’re probably not suitable for marriage…

Before, Duge had never considered this issue.

Now that he thinks about it, it’s really terrifying. And yet, every year, so many newborns are born, which probably can only be attributed to human instincts!

Does this mean he’ll have to find love only within the simulation in the future?

It seems not.

He easily makes it to the top ten as naturally as eating and drinking. If he really had a romance with a woman inside the simulation, it would all be broadcasted, devoid of any sense of privacy. Moreover, the body in the simulation isn’t even his own…

Is he to remain a bachelor for life in this cursed world?

Thinking this, Duge couldn’t help feeling a sense of unexplained melancholy.

“Mr. Du, is my sincerity not enough?” Seeing that Duge didn’t react, Shi Xiang hesitated, then leaned in closer and whispered, “There are some things that aren’t appropriate to discuss here, but I can assure you that the terms the Qiao Family offers are much more substantial than the few names you selected.”

“Yeah, I understand,” Duge smiled, “As for sincerity, first it depends on affinity, second it is shown through action. There aren’t many participants here yet, and I don’t have much spiritual power in hand, so discussing this is pointless. Staff Officer Shi, if we want to share more benefits, we first need to make the pie bigger.”

“Mr. Du makes sense,” Shi Xiang nodded, “I’ll notify the regiment right away and broadcast an announcement in the name of the regiment headquarters, which will surely attract more people.”

…

Shi Xiang contacted the regiment headquarters in West Forest City through the vehicle’s radio to explain the situation.

Duge took the opportunity to sign agency contracts with the soldiers he brought and shared some of their attributes with them, allowing them to personally feel the thrill of becoming Transcendents.

Unlike Shi Xiang, these native soldiers preferred to expel the mutant beasts to restore their beautiful homeland. Animals and plants were continually evolving, and even the army was panicking about it.

Rather than depending on Heavenly Demon, they preferred to solve problems on their own.

Duge’s agency contract, though domineering, was nonetheless a solution to their problems.

To concentrate everyone’s strength and cultivate Transcendents to maintain social order, allowing civilization to continue in adverse conditions, certainly meets most people’s expectations.

The worst outcome would be to make Duge an untouchable god.

But having only one such god, compared to extinction, is something humanity could actually tolerate.

…

Shi Xiang’s report was relayed back, and the colonel did not respond immediately. However, once all the soldiers that accepted the agency contract vouched for Duge, the colonel had to believe that Qi Feihu had indeed found a solution to the mutant beasts.

Half an hour later.

West Forest City’s radio station changed its previous tune, acknowledged the achievements of the Chaoyang Institute, and called on all survivors to stay put where they were, not to risk traveling to Yongan City, and to wait for the Transcendents to come to their rescue.

That very day, the colonel, disregarding the risks, led his troops to Yongan City overnight.

Transcendents’ emergence meant the existing social order collapsed once again. The military force he had relied on was now worthless, and he had to ensure he became a level-one agent to continue maintaining social stability.

…

The broadcast from West Forest City, starting with rebuttal then admissions, immediately caused an uproar among the simulation exam participants.

Apart from those candidates specifically ill-suited for long-distance raiding, most capable examinees began finding ways to converge on Yongan City.

After all, that was Duge!

The last simulation exam wasn’t even a month ago, and he’d ended it. Now, he’d discovered the main thread again, and there was a chance he could swiftly end this simulation exam just as quickly.

Arrive late, and you wouldn’t even get a sip of the soup.

They sure didn’t want to be confusedly eliminated again this time!

Damn Duge!

Can’t he let people experience the simulation exam normally for once?

Twice now, all the stuff taught in school couldn’t be applied at all, making progress was simply impossible…

This son of a b****!

Complaints aside.

Every dreamer, however, dared not stop the steps taken towards Duge…

Of course.

When the forest is big, all kinds of birds are found.

There were also those resigned to their fate, completely ignoring the so-called broadcast, indulging in entertainment within the simulation exam, and taking advantage of their keyword strengths to savor life.

Many others were stubborn, firmly believing that Yongan City was a trap, that Duge couldn’t possibly find the main thread so quickly. They methodically developed their keywords, enhanced their abilities, hoping to turn the tables at the final moment and achieve astonishing success.

…

In summary.

In the following days, everyone who arrived at Yongan City experienced unexpected joys.

Over several days, Duge’s trade network’s radiation range expanded, and the attributes from various agents grew exponentially on him.

Even if there were advanced skills like slowing, dizziness, or confusion, none could harm so much as a hair on Duge.

After all.

Besides his own strength, Duge also had the loyalty of the agents. When it was critical, if he encountered harm, someone would actively jump in front of him to take the bullet.

Those charged with taking bullets for Duge were granted supreme agility and stronger recovery capabilities, alongside three hundred sixty degrees of protection. Even keyword users with stealth abilities couldn’t penetrate such a defense circle.

Moreover, even if the students were outstanding and talented, their attributes couldn’t possibly catch up to Duge’s in just a few days.

The gap between them and Duge was as vast as that between heaven and earth.

Every single participant in the simulation exam, without exception, couldn’t escape Duge’s clutches…

Facing such a powerful Duge, the candidates were close to despair.

The previous simulation exam could be set aside.

Duge’s growth had been traceable, and Mr. Zhao and Qiao Pingjiang almost defeated him in the end.

If Mr. Zhao hadn’t been smart-alecky, releasing the BOSS prematurely, with the Qiao Family’s strength and Duge’s steady approach, victory was possible.

But in this exam, Duge seemed to be an unsolvable entity, more BOSS than the BOSS itself. Having such a person in the same examination hall was simply to destroy their confidence.

Fortunately, the outcome was positive. This time, Duge didn’t kill anyone, and thoughtfully allowed everyone to enjoy a wave of benefits, allowing everyone to regain some balance and reasons to console themselves.

Duge’s strength this time wasn’t due to his own efforts but the advantage of exploiting the simulation exam’s loopholes.

Moreover, Duge, though having gained benefits, didn’t hoard them. His behavior of thinking of sharing with everyone also won the majority’s goodwill.

In this world of selfishness and cold-heartedness, Duge’s selfless behavior was as noble as the Holy Mother.

No matter the rankings, the spiritual power was tangible. With several dozen extra points of spiritual power, the next simulation exam would start off with an advantage.
